NOTE: The UMAT format changed in 2013 and there will be no split sections.
The three broad question styles of Logical Reasoning & Problem Solving, Understanding
People and Non-verbal Reasoning have historically been split into three separate and
independently timed sections in the UMAT exam.
The exam structure was modified for the 2013 UMAT. The exam is no longer divided into
sections. While the question types remain the same, the questions are now mixed and the
exam will be delivered as one three-hour exam with no breaks.
These sample questions are split into separate question types for structure and to assist
students in identifying weak areas where practice should be directed.

Problem Solving
UMAT Sample Question 1
A classroom window was broken today. You know that two students were
responsible. There were 4 students inside the classroom, Allen, Beatrice, Camille
and Donald. You know that two of them are the ones who broke the window, and you
also know that all four of them saw who did it. After asking each of them in turn who
broke the window, you receive the following replies:
Allen: Camille and myself did it.
Beatrice: Allen and Donald did it.
Camille: Beatrice and myself did it.
Donald: Allen and Beatrice did it.
Given that one of them told the complete truth, two of them told half-truths (i.e. they
only named one guilty student correctly) and one of them told a complete lie, and
assuming that it is one of the guilty students who told the complete lie, which of the
students was the one who told the complete lie?
A)
B)
C)
D)
Answer: B
It may be tempting for students to immediately resort to the guess and check
approach. However, it is important to realise that questions in the UMAT are
carefully designed to test qualities desirable in future doctors. In Section 1, this is
most often logical reasoning. Hence, there will always be a logical method to
simplify these styles of questions.
One method of logical solution involves recognising that for one student to have told
a complete truth, and another to have told a complete lie, the students in question
must have named completely different students. I.e. the person who told the
complete truth must name the two culprits, whilst the person who told the complete
lie must name the remaining two students who are innocent. The only two students
who named different students are Beatrice and Camille, and therefore one of them
told the complete truth, and the other the complete lie. Now, we make use of the fact
that the student who told the complete lie is one of the guilty students. If Beatrice is
telling the complete truth, then Allen and Donald were responsible, and so one of
them must have told the complete lie however, we know from earlier, that if
Beatrice told the complete truth, then Camille must have told the complete lie.
Therefore, Camille is the one telling the complete truth, so Beatrice is the one telling
the complete lie (which works, as Camille names herself and Beatrice as the guilty
ones).
The other method of solution is similar and involves recognising that the culprit who
is telling a complete lie cannot name themselves, as this would be inconsistent. For
example, Allan cannot be the culprit who is telling the complete lie; if his statement
Camille and myself did it was a complete lie, he wouldnt be the culprit which is
inconsistent as only the culprit told the complete lie. Thus, Beatrice or Donald is the
culprit who told the complete lie.
Allen
Beatrice
Camille
Donald
Assuming Beatrice told the complete lie, Allen and Donald cannot be the culprits.
Thus Camille is the other culprit who is thus telling the complete truth. Simple
checking shows Allen and Donald are both telling half truths, and thus this is the
correct answer.
Assuming Donald is the culprit who told the complete lie, then Allan and Beatrice
are not culprits whilst Camille is the other culprit. However, by looking at Camilles
statement it can be seen that in this situation she is also telling a complete lie. Since
only one student told a complete lie, this answer is not correct and Donald cannot be
the culprit who told the complete lie.

Logical Reasoning
Answer: B
UMAT Sample Questions 2 to 4 refer to the following excerpt:
These kinds of questions must be answered evaluating each individual scenario one
by one. Once an answer option that works is found, students can immediately move
on without considering the other options. However, if not pressed for time it is
recommended that students evaluate all answer options to reduce the risk of errors
in reading and reasoning.
In the human body, binding of glucagon to the outside of liver cells causes
production of cAMP. This in turn activates PKA by splitting the inactive PKA into R
and C subunits. The C subunits then convert PBK into PBK-P, which in turn converts
Phosphorylase-B into Phosphorylase-A-P. Phosphorylase-A-P then changes stored
glycogen into glucose, which is used by the body for energy. Phosphorylase-B has no
effect on stored glycogen.
In addition, there is a substance present called PP-1, which can convert
Phosphorylase-A-P into Phosphorylase-B.
Which of the following, if also true, would increase the amount of glucose
generated?
A)
B)
C)
D)
The R subunits send a signal to the cell membrane, which in turn sends a signal
into the extracellular space to attract more glycogen to the exterior of the cell.
The C subunits convert a certain IPP-1 into IPP-1-P, which will then bond to
PP-1 to form a complex in which PP-1 is bound exclusively to IPP-1-P.
The C subunits act to increase the efficiency of a VPP-2, which is involved in the
formation of PP-1.
PBK is also able to increase the activity of Phosphorylase-B, although it will
decrease the activity of the R subunit
www.MedStart.com.au

Page 6 of 55
There are two approaches to evaluating each scenario. Producing a flowchart of all
events on the side of the page would greatly simplify the task and reduce the chance
of errors. It is recommended that most students take this approach.
If pressed for time, another method would be to refer back to the passage constantly
while evaluating the scenario. This is prone to more errors and can take longer than
producing a flow chart at times.
Option A can be ruled out immediately, as glucagon, not glycogen, bonds to the
outside of the cell. This option illustrates the importance of careful reading, and the
benefits of considering all other answer options even after a solution has been
obtained (although it is quicker and beneficial to read very carefully and move on
without considering the other options).
Option C is incorrect, as more PP-1 will inhibit Phosphorylase-A-P, leading to less
glucose. Option D can also be eliminated, as both Phosphorylase-B and the R
subunit have no effect on anything based on the information in the question. Option B
is the best response, as the PP-1, normally inhibiting Phosphorylase-A-P, will be
sequestered, enabling Phosphorylase-A-P to generate more glucose.

Answer: A
There is another substance present called GSK-3. This converts GS-A to GS-B-P.
GS-A is responsible for converting glucose into glycogen. Which of the following, if
also true, will increase the amount of glycogen generated?
This question must be answered in a similar fashion to the previous one. A flowchart
produced for the first question can also be used in this case. Option B is incorrect as
GS-A is responsible for converting glucose to glycogen, and by converting GS-A to
GS-B-P less glycogen will be produced. Option C can also be eliminated as PBK-P is
part of the process of converting glucose into glycogen, not the other way around.
Similarly, PP-1 discourages glucose formation by converting Phosphorylase-A-P
into Phosphorylase-B and thus by inhibiting PP-1 it encourages glucose formation
rather than glycogen formation.
A)
B)
C)
D)
Insulin is added, and it will bind to the outside of liver cells, causing a certain
IRS-1 to become IRS-1-P, triggering a signal cascade which results in the
activation of a PKB, allowing it to convert GSK-3 to an inactive form called GSK3-P.
PBK-P will also activate a molecule PSA, which is able to convert GS-A to GSB-P.
GSK-3 increases the activity of PBK-P, whilst inhibiting PP-1.
Insulin is added, and it will bind to the outside of liver cells, occupying the
binding sites normally used by glucagon.
www.MedStart.com.au

Page 8 of 55
Option D is tricky, as it will prevent the conversion of glycogen to glucose. However,

it will not increase the generation of glycogen, and thus A is the best answer. A is
correct, as inactivation of GSK-3 will lead to more GS-A, which will generate more
glycogen.

Answer: C
A researcher adds a substance called casein kinase III to the inside of liver cells, and
observes that a large amount of glycogen has been converted into glucose. In
addition, the rate of formation of Phosphorylase-B decreased. Which of the following
explanations would best account for the observed events?
Option A can be ruled out first, as an increase in amount or activity of GS-A would
convert more glucose into glycogen, not glycogen into glucose as observed. B can
also be easily eliminated, as is also not a valid conclusion, since the casein kinase III
in the experiment was injected directly into the liver cells, and one cannot conclude
that taking tablets would have the same effect.
A)
B)
C)
D)
Casein kinase III increases the amount or activity of GS-A.

Taking casein kinase III tablets would be an effective way to increase glucose
production by liver cells.
Casein kinase III reduces the activity of PP-1.
Casein kinase III increases the activity of PBK-P.
www.MedStart.com.au

Page 10 of 55
Option D would mean that PBK-P would convert more Phosphorylase-B into
Phosphorylase-A-P, which then converts glycogen to glucose. Whilst this would
explain why a large amount of glycogen was converted into glucose, it would not
explain why the rate of formation of Phosphorylase-B decreased (note that an
increase in conversion of Phosphorylase-B into Phosphorylase-A-P does not equate
to a decrease in the rate of formation of Phosphorylase-B). Option C, on the other
hand, explains both the observed events, and hence is a better answer. By reducing
the activity of PP-1, there would be more Phosphorylase-A-P than before, explaining
the observed conversion of glycogen into glucose. Since PP-1 also converts
Phosphorylase-A-P into Phosphorylase-B, thus a reduction in PP-1s activity would
also mean a decrease in the rate of formation of Phosphorylase-B, and thus option C
successfully explains all the observations made.

Data Interpretation
Answer: C
The diagrams display statistical information regarding the relative proportions of

oral and tobacco-related cancers out of all cancers in the US and India. It is
important to read the question stem carefully and note that it is asking what cannot
be concluded.
Incidence of oral and tobacco-related cancers out of all cancers in the United States
and India:
First, it is imperative that the table is deconstructed. It is stated that Areas of

overlap represent the incidence of oral cancer that is tobacco-related. For example,
in the USA it can be seen that 4% of all cancers are in the oral cavity, 30% of all
cancers are tobacco-related and 75% of oral cancer is tobacco-related.
Similarly, in India, 50% are tobacco-related, 45% are oral cancer, 8 out of 9 cases of
oral cancer are tobacco-related.
Option A is incorrect, as the statement is true. From the graph Tobacco-related
cancers outside the mouth constitute 10% of all cancers, whereas oral cancer not
related to tobacco use make up 5%. Therefore the former is exactly twice as likely as
the latter, so not more than twice is correct. Be careful for the double negative.
Option B is incorrect, as the statement is true. It accurately describes the larger
proportion of tobacco-related cancer out of all cancers in India than the US. In India,
50% of cancers are tobacco related whereas in the US it is 30%.
Areas of overlap (green) represent the incidence of oral cancer that is tobaccorelated.
What cannot be concluded from the diagram?
A)
B)
C)
D)
In India, tobacco-related cancers are not more than twice as likely to be found
outside the mouth than oral cancers which are not tobacco-related
Tobacco does not play as significant a role in the development of cancers in the
US as in India
More people are diagnosed with oral cancer not due to tobacco use in India than
the total number of oral cancer cases in the US
In all oral cancers, the proportion which is not due to tobacco use is not as
large in India compared to the US
www.MedStart.com.au

Page 12 of 55
Option D is incorrect, and requires manipulation of the statistics to conclude that the
statement is true. 1 in 9 oral cancer cases in India and 25% of oral cancer cases in
the US are not tobacco-related. If this is not worked out, it may appear that 5% of all
cancer in India is greater than 1% of all cancer in the US, but the question asks for
the proportion of non-tobacco related oral cancer out of the oral cancer cases.
Option C is correct as it cannot be concluded, although the percentages (5% vs 4%)
would appear to support the statement. The diagram displays the percentages
involved but does not mention the number of people and cases. If the US has 10
times the number of overall cases then the statement would be false.

Scientific Experiments
Answer: D
In the UMAT it is imperative that questions are only answered based on the
information given in the passage, and that unwarranted extrapolations are not made.
We are told in the passage that the only way X-gal will change colour is due to the
action of beta-galactosidase. Thus, we can eliminate option B.
A researcher is studying a protein, called Protein X. She hypothesises that Protein X,

if injected into a bacterium, will cause another protein called beta-galactosidase to
be created by the bacterium (beta-galactosidase can only be created by bacteria). If
Protein X does indeed cause beta-galactosidase to be created by the bacterium, then
the only way this could happen would be for Protein X to firstly interact with a third
protein, called lac repressor. Lac repressor is naturally present in the bacterium,
and is bound to DNA. Protein X would interact with lac repressor in such a way that it
would cause lac repressor to detach from DNA, and this in turn causes betagalactosidase to be created by the bacterium.
In order to test her hypothesis, the researcher injects Protein X into a bacterium on a
sterile plate, and then adds a substance called X-gal, which is normally white, to the
dish. If beta-galactosidase is made by the bacterium, then it will act on X-gal to turn
it blue. If beta-galactosidase is not made by the bacterium, then it will remain white.
There is no other way to change the colour of X-gal, except by the action of betagalactosidase. She also sets up a second sterile dish with a bacterium, but she
doesnt inject this bacterium with Protein X. However, she still adds X-gal (this is the
control). The researcher performs this experiment, and observes that the X-gal has
turned blue on both dishes.
Options A and C sound viable, and may be true, but we cannot conclude these
without making extrapolations and extending outside the scope of the passage. We
are looking for the best conclusion, which occurs in option D - since the X-gal in the
control plate turned blue without the addition of Protein X, and since X-gal can only
turn blue because of beta-galactosidase, it follows that even without X-gal injected
into the bacterium, beta-galactosidase was present. Since only bacteria can make
beta-galactosidase, it follows that the bacterium in the control plate made betagalactosidase without Protein X, and hence Option D is correct.
Which of the following is the best conclusion that can be made from the results?
A)
B)
C)
D)
The bacterium can create another protein, different from Protein X, which acts
on lac repressor to detach it from DNA
Protein X can act on X-gal directly to make it turn blue
Substances found in the air can induce the bacterium to create betagalactosidase
The bacterium can make beta-galactosidase without the addition of Protein X

Construct 2 Understanding People

Health Professional and Patient
UMAT Sample Questions 7 to 9 refer to the following excerpt
A mother grapples with consenting to her daughters risky brain operation.
1. Doctor: Look, I understand this is difficult for you but your daughter is in a critical
condition and we cant afford to2. Mother: What exactly are you trying to say?
3. Doctor: Im saying that you need to make a decision very soon. This cant wait
until tomorrow
4. Mother: I know, I know, but this isnt the kind of decision you make in a split
second on an empty stomach! What if I regret this for the rest of my life?
5. Doctor: Like I said, Im aware this is the last thing you want to do. Ive told you
that her situation is critical, and the tumour can only increase in size from here.
Without surgery her chances of regaining consciousness are minimal but with it
those chances are slightly increased.
1300 99 UMAT (1300 99 8628)
Answer: B
Option A is plausible but students may find themselves thinking what they
themselves would do, as opposed to considering only the context given. There are
also clues which point away from option A, such as the doctor saying that the mother
needs to make a decision soon and her acknowledgement "I know, I know".
Therefore this implies that she is aware of the pressing urgency of making a
decision.
Option C is too far-fetched. It is unreasonable to suggest that the mother is
somehow testing the doctor on his medical knowledge or prove to him that she is
more attuned to the situation than he is.
Option D can probably be considered, but in this context it is helpful to look at the
response to her question. If the mother was trying to prove a point about how
difficult her choice was, the doctor would have responded in an entirely different
manner to apologising for giving nothing more than "his professional medical
opinion". This apology is more suited to a request for help, thus option B is the best
answer.
6. Mother: What would you do?

7. Doctor: Im sorry, I cant give you anything more than my professional medical
opinion. Ive laid out all the facts for you.
8. Mother: If you operate9. Doctor: If we operate, there still wont be a guarantee that it will fix anything. But
there is a chance that it will, and Im asking you now if youll take that chance.
10. Mother: [exasperated] Shes just a child!

1300 99 UMAT (1300 99 8628)
Answer: A
Overall, the doctors manner throughout the consultation was
In these questions where the answers are 'branched', most of the time it is efficient
to first identify whether the doctor is sympathetic or unsympathetic first, rather than
considering every answer.
A)
B)
C)
D)
Sympathetic as he tried to provide all relevant medical information

Unsympathetic as he refused to answer her questions directly
Sympathetic as he expressed personal concern for the daughter
Unsympathetic as he accused the mother of delaying her decision
Here, if we consider the doctor to be unsympathetic overall, options A and C would

be eliminated.
Option B can be discarded, as looking at the entire passage there is no instance
where the doctor avoids the mother's questions.
Option D is similarly unsuitable - students need to pick up on the nuances of the
doctor's response to comment 2. He is not accusing the mother but reminding her
of her responsibilities - there is a difference, as he is basically repeating his own
comment (comment 1) in a more direct manner.
Therefore the doctor must be sympathetic, leading to options A and C.
Option C takes the doctor's concern too far; he is worried that the mother will not
make a proper decision in time but nowhere is it suggested that he has invested
personal concern in her daughter. In fact, he backs away from this in disclosing only
his 'professional medical opinion'.
This leaves option A as the right answer. The doctor attempts to equip the mother
with the necessary medical forewarning but cannot solve the problem for her. He
does, however, address both sides of the potential outcomes.

1300 99 UMAT (1300 99 8628)
Answer: C
The mothers outburst at the end of the passage indicates
Option A cannot be inferred from the mother's behaviour in the passage. There is no
mention of the way her daughter is treated, and although she may be ill, it cannot be
assumed that she is being mistreated, neglected, etc. Similarly, there is no tone of
accusation in the mother's voice in any of her comments.
A)
B)
C)
D)
Her indignation at the treatment of the daughter

Her fear of what the outcomes of surgery might be
Her despair that such a dilemma has to strike her daughter so young
Her anger at being pressured to make a decision
Option B is more a general feeling throughout the passage rather than the particular
sentiment expressed in the mother's last comment. The mother expressed her fear
from comment 4 onwards yet the issue of her daughter being a child is somewhat
different to her anguish over the outcomes of the procedure.
Likewise, option D cannot be inferred from the last comment alone and is not limited
to the context of the mother's concern for her daughter being a child. The mother's
anger may be apparent throughout the passage but again, this does not come
through in her 'exasperated' outburst. Anger also suggests resentment at making a
decision, but her tone by the end has become more despairing.
Option C is thus the most correct, as the mother is primarily lamenting the fact that
her daughter is so young and yet still must endure this dangerous operation. The
emphasis on the word 'just' and her 'exasperated' tone should make it clear that
despair is her dominant emotion.

Non-medical Interaction
Answer: C
In option A, Beth does want to make clear her ownership of her body which is not
entirely wrong. However this is a literal interpretation and in consideration of the
word mainly, her comment appears to signify more than this. Nowhere is her
femininity suggested or discussed in the passage. Thus option A is incorrect.
The following conversation takes place between a couple who are trying to have a
child after multiple unsuccessful attempts.
1. Ted: Honey, have you ever thought about, you know, any other options?
2. Beth: Other options? We've tried them all, the gamete transfer, the IVF, the
borrowed eggs for heaven's sake! What do you want me to do?
3. Ted: What I mean was, have you ever thought about how, you know, since we
want a child and there are lots of kids out there without a family...
4. Beth: What exactly are you suggesting?
5. Ted: Nothing, I just thought that since we've been trying for so long and
everything's been unsuccessful6. Beth: Are you talking about giving up? How dare you, Ted, I can't believe I'm
hearing this! It's my body, my choice!
Option B is superficially correct if students impose their personal views upon the
passage. Whilst earlier in Beths comment Are you talking about giving up? she is
questioning his motives, option B is too extreme to say that Beth is attacking Ted,
rather she is unhappy with his opinion, not his character.
Option D is similarly far-fetched, nowhere is it suggested that Ted is asserting his
control over Beth, rather it is Beth who appears more dominant and forthright.
Thus option C is correct, as Beths response to Teds suggestion of adoption signifies
her indignation at his resigned attitude - How dare you Beth appears to resent
Teds views and makes as if he cannot understand this situation which is deeply
personal for her.
7. Ted: Just hear me out, ok? I know how hard it's been for us, for you especially. I
know it's been taking a massive toll on your health...I just think that maybe we
should give it some time, reconsider things, you know?
[pause]
8. Beth: [small voice, on the verge of tears] You don't understand how hard it is...
9. Ted: I know, I know. But we'll work it out, I mean, why don't we just give this
adopting thing a go? It might turn out good, you never know.
10. Beth: My god, you still don't get it! I never ever want to hear the word "adopt"
again! [rushes out of the room]
When Beth says "It's my body, my choice!", her purpose is mainly to
A)
B)
C)
D)
Assert her femininity and independence

Accuse Ted of his lack of tenacity
Retain her say and right to decide in the matter
Highlight her struggle for independence from Ted

Answer: D
The tone of comment 7 is mostly one of:
Option A is overly optimistic in that whilst Ted makes steps towards pacifying Beth,
they do not reach an agreement, nor is this perceived by Ted as he is merely raising
a suggestion. Thus option A is incorrect.
A)
B)
C)
D)
Reconciliation
Wheedling
Defensiveness
Diplomacy
Option B is too extreme as it suggests that Ted is the one appealing to Beth whilst
the passage and his language show that he is still holds power in the active
discussion.
Option C is too hostile. When considering Teds comments, they are not in response
to any direct accusations by Beth, therefore it is incorrect to say that he is aiming to
defend himself.
It is clear that option D is the best answer as Ted skilfully navigates the conversation
into the direction he desires. His repeated I know shows his empathy for Beths
feelings whilst being able to simultaneously insert his point of view into the
discussion.

Answer: B
The conflict between Beth and Ted in this passage revolves mainly around:
This question is relatively difficult. Students need to recognise in this passage and
not extrapolate beyond the scope of the passage.
A)
B)
C)
D)
Ted's inability to understand Beth's feelings

The difference in the couple's desires for having children
Beth's refusal to acknowledge the futility of her previous actions
Beth's infertility
It is incorrect to say option A as Ted does not show an inability to understand Beths
feelings, rather insists upon his opinion in spite of her reaction. This is evident in his
I know its been hard where he clearly empathises with Beth.
Option C contradicts Beths attitude displayed at the beginning of the first passage in
comment 2 Weve tried them all In listing all their previous attempts Beth
demonstrates that she is completely aware of the futility of these pathways, thus
leading to their current state.
It may be tempting for students to choose option D as it appears to be at the heart of
the problem. One could argue that if Beth wasnt infertile, the conflict in the passage
would not exist. However the question is not asking for the source of the conflict, but
what the conflict revolves around which is slightly different. Students would also be
inferring too much from the passage, as there is no sign of resentment from Ted
towards Beths infertility, only mutual exasperation.
Thus option B is the best answer. By concentrating only on and within the scope of
the passage, the main argument between the couple seem to be over Teds wish to
adopt and Beths insistence on continuing with other treatment. This is supported by
Beths closing comment I never ever want to hear the word adopt again!

Reflective Passages
Answer: D
Option A is incorrect because annoyed is not strong enough to describe Daniels

emotions in the second paragraph. The language he uses clearly shows that he is
completely frustrated with himself and increasingly angry at himself, his disability,
and his wife. Annoyed is not nearly forceful enough to describe these emotions.
Phrases like stupid, bloody arm and those damn words dominate this second
paragraph. Also, in the first paragraph, Daniel is not simply upset in general. While
he is upset, this is not the MOST CORRECT answer in this case.
The following passage relates to Daniel, who has lost his ability to speak and some
mobility after a stroke.
Everyday I wake up and hear my wife, Lizzy, bustling about in the kitchen. I just
dont want to get up. I know the minute I try to sit up and get out of bed, Ill just be
faced with my inability to move my right arm and the heaviness of my right leg. It has
taken me long enough to get to this stage where I can walk, but its still with a limp.
Some days, I cant stand to look at Lizzys bright smile and chirpy Good morning!
She isnt able to understand what Im going through. So she cant tell how much it
affects me emotionally. I cant call out my kids names to wake them up. I can see
how they try to avoid eye contact with me. I dont blame them. This shouldnt have
happened to me. I was young and healthy. How am I meant to be a good husband and
father to them...
I know what I want to say, the words have already formed in my head. But the
minute I open my mouth, those damn words just wont come out. And this arm, this
stupid, bloody arm. What use is it? I should just cut it off and be done with it. Lizzy
keeps nagging me to try to move it. Doesnt she get that it is paralysed? It cant be
moved. For god sakes, sometimes I just want to yell at her. She has no idea what its
like to be me. Does she think that I dont want to be normal again? All I do is wish
that my body would just work properly! Now look at me. Im practically a vegetable.
Whats the point living...
Option B is partly correct. While the emotional language in the second paragraph
clearly depicts Daniel as a very angry man (see above explanation), the first part of
this answer is incorrect. Upset is too broad a term to describe what Daniel was
feeling in the first paragraph. Phrases such as cant understand what Im going
through and this shouldnt have happened to me clearly depict that Daniel is not
merely upset at what he is going through or what has happened to him. There is a
distinct undertone of self-pitying.
Option C is partly correct because Daniel is self-pitying but he was not just annoyed
(see above two explanations)
Option D is the best answer, incorporating the self pity evident in the first paragraph
and the anger evident in the second.

Daniels mood throughout the passage goes from:
A)
B)
C)
D)
Upset to annoyed
Upset to angry
Self-pitying to annoyed
Self-pitying to angry

Answer: B
What does Daniel mean by Some days, I cant stand to look at Lizzys bright smile
and chirpy Good morning!?
Option A is incorrect because Daniel has just addressed one aspect of Lizzys
mannerisms and he does not reveal how he has come to find Lizzy annoying. This
sentence, in relation to the rest of the passage, does not depict Lizzy as having
mannerisms that annoy Daniel. Had Daniel found her mannerisms annoying he
would have mentioned them in a more exasperated or displeased way, but instead,
he is relating his despair at his current situation by saying Some days, I cant
stand.... Some days indicates that his feeling towards Lizzys words and actions
are dependent on the way Daniel is feeling because of his disability, not because of
the way Daniel feels towards Lizzy.
A)
B)
C)
D)
Daniel has grown to find Lizzys mannerisms annoying

Daniel has grown to resent Lizzys positivity
Daniel has grown to hate Lizzys positivity
Daniel has grown to find Lizzys mannerisms aggravating
Option C is incorrect because hate too strong a word. Hate is a very emotionally
wrought, negative word, which Daniel is not feeling towards his wife. While Daniel is
focusing on Lizzys positivity, he is not saying how much he hates it. He has just
revealed how he is unable to face it when he is feeling sorry for himself.
Option D is incorrect because in the context of this first paragraph (where this
sentence occurs) Daniel is in a self-pitying mode. He is not yet angry, but is feeling
sorry for himself. He has emphasised how he feels other people are unable to
understand what he is going through, including his wife who he feels isnt able to
understand what Im going through. Therefore, aggravation is not what he feels in
this first paragraph (similar to A).
Option B is the best answer because Daniel feels that Lizzy does not understand
what he is going through and is unable to empathise with him. Hence, Daniels
comment is filled with resentment at Lizzys cheerful attitude, which he feels that he
cannot adopt himself.

Answer: A
Whats the point living... indicates Daniel is:
Option B extends beyond the scope of the passage, using unwarranted extrapolation
and hence cannot be concluded. It is best not to think from a completely negative
point of view in section 2 questions. Suicide is too extreme and should not be
assumed in this case as he has not previously indicated that he has thought of taking
his own life.
A)
B)
C)
D)
Deeply despaired because of his disability

Contemplating suicide
Thinking of leaving his family
Angry at his family because he feels they do not understand him
Option C is incorrect because while in the passage Daniel previously wondered,

How am I meant to be a good husband and father to them..., he has not given any
indicated he was willing or thinking of leaving his family. This statement was merely
made because of his despair at his inability to be the man he used to be prior to the
stroke.
Option D is incorrect because Daniel has made it clear he is mainly angry at himself.
While he has given indication that he was annoyed at Lizzy for not being able to
understand what he has been doing through, it all stems from Daniels annoyance at
himself and his body for not being able to do what he wants it to do (to have normal
function).
Option A is clearly the best option when the passage is taken as a whole. Daniels
sadness all stems from his disability caused by his stroke. All his complaints are
surrounding his despair as his inability to perform tasks that he was able to before
his stroke. He is upset and angry at himself because he cannot be who he wants to
be. Hence, the final sentence indicates that Daniel is deeply despaired because of
how his disability has affected his life.

Answer: A
Who does Daniel feel the most pity for?
Option B is incorrect because while he does talk about his wife a lot, he is talking
about her in a way that reveals his inadequacies and how Lizzy does not understand
what he is going through. He repeats how Lizzy cannot understand what he is going
through. It is clear that he is not feeling pity for her.
A)
B)
C)
D)
Himself
His wife, Lizzy
His two children
Both A and C
Option C is incorrect because he has not focused on his pity of his children. He has
mentioned them in relation to his inability to be what HE feels he should be like. I
cant call out my kids names to wake them up. I can see how they try to avoid eye
contact with me. I dont blame them. These few sentences focus on his inabilities
rather than what his children are experiencing, thus, C is not correct judging from
this passage.
D is incorrect because C is incorrect.
Thus, A is the correct answer. It is clear throughout the passage that Daniel is going
through a lot of self pity. She has no idea what its like to be me and Whats the
point living... are filled with self pity. Daniel has focused on himself throughout the
passage, thus he feels the most pity for himself.

Other Passages
Answer: C
The negative in the question may throw students off - again, it is most important
above all to take time to read the question properly. A lot of time can be wasted by
not doing this.
The following is about a recent high school graduate taking a tour of her
grandmothers (Nana) native country.
Gina had never been inside a church before. As the local tour guide led the group
deeper into the darkness amongst the pews, she stood underneath the high vaulted
roof and gazed upwards, straining to make out the inscriptions on the beams above
her. They were carved in shapes strange and unnatural to her, the letters angled and
sharp. The little light there was struggled to filter through the centuries of dust and
grime settled on the panelled windows. So this was where it all began, the
christening of Nana under this very roof. For Gina it was overwhelming, yet still so
unfathomable to her.
As she took another step forward, the musty smell of stagnated air gagged her like a
cloth over the mouth. The tour group had moved on into another part of the chapel
and their fading footsteps left her cold to the bones. As much as she wanted to stay
and explore, her clammy skin and the tiredness that seemed to seep right through
her pulled her backwards out of the church and into the mottled sunshine outside.
Gina leant against the rough stone and closed her eyes, trembling. Nana would
never have been so weak at her age.
Option A, uninviting, is somewhat suggested in the passage as evident in the phrases

"musty smell of stagnated air" which "gagged her like a cloth over the mouth".
Whilst these phrases are not sufficient to eliminate this answer option entirely, we
are looking for the best answer as is usually the case in section II.
Option B can certainly be inferred from the way the roof inscriptions seem "strange
and unnatural" as well as through Gina's adverse physical state within the church.
Option D is evident throughout the passage. Phrases such as So this was where it all
began... and ....she wanted to stay and explore... highlight the foreign nature of the
church.
Option C is the best answer as the church itself is not overtly repulsive to Gina, and
the word 'hostile' connotes a more active and aggressive emotion when rather it is a
more subtle feeling. Uninviting is a better answer option.

The atmosphere within the church is best not described as
A)
B)
C)
D)
uninviting
foreign
hostile
unsettling

Answer: D
Ginas closing comment Nana would never have been so weak at her age suggests
that
The aim of this question is for students to try and take the question at face value
without drawing unnecessary inferences or relying on personal experience, i.e. stay
in the scope and consider the context.
A)
B)
C)
D)
her grandmother rarely felt ill

Gina can never live up to her grandmothers expectations
Health was very important for her grandmother
Gina often compares herself to her grandmother
Option A is an answer which might be inferred from the comment, but it is still an
extrapolation. Even if her Nana would not have been ill at her age doesn't mean that
she was rarely ill.
The same process of logic can be applied to option B because whilst it is perfectly
adequate that Gina may feel that she is not living up to her grandmother's
expectations this one time, the same cannot be said in using the word 'never'.
Students should thus be careful of such exclusive or absolute terminology.
Option C is completely irrelevant as the issue of health and her grandmother's
priorities are never mentioned.
Thus the correct answer is option D since it is the least extrapolated answer out of
the four. That Gina compares herself to her Nana often is the most secure and
reasonable conclusion we can gain from the comment.

Construct 3 Non-Verbal Reasoning
1300 99 UMAT (1300 99 8628)
Answer: E
It is important to remember that the motion of these blocks are all relative to one
another. Hence, the easiest way to solve this question is to pick one block and keep it
as stationary, and examine how the other blocks are moving relative to that block.
Sequencing
The tall block seems to be moving the least so we should take this one as stationary.
It is important to note that since it is relative motion, any one of the three blocks can
be held stationary and the question can still be solved the only difference is that it
is easiest to choose the block moving the least.
Keeping the tall block stationary, we should now consider one block and work out
where it should be in the final answer. Choosing the middle sized block, we can see
that it moves to the left one position (relative to the stationary tall block) and then to
the right two positions, then again left one position. Continuing with the pattern, it
should then move two positions to the right. This eliminates options A, B and C,
leaving options E and D.
Now we consider the remaining short block. Relative to the tall block, it is moving
one position to the right, then one position to the left, then one position to the right
and hence it should move one position to the left in the final answer. This eliminates
option D and gives us the solution, option E.

Pick the Middle
Answer: D
Immediately it should be evident that this question is a perfect candidate for the
number path technique. Implementing this, we can see that the linear sequence
occurs in the order E,A,D,C,B.
Arrange the following into a logical sequence and pick the middle.
E consists of two blocks overlapping. Moving from E to A, one block moves clockwise
one space and continues to do so for the rest of the sequence.
The other block, however, moves anticlockwise one space from E to A, then
anticlockwise two spaces from A to D, then anticlockwise three spaces from D to C
and then anticlockwise four spaces from C to B.
Hence the answer is D.

Answer: D
Arrange the following into a logical sequence and pick the middle
The first thing to determine in this question is where the pattern actually is. Is it
between the position of the shapes? The number of the shapes? The type of shapes?
After examination, the positions of the shapes seem largely arbitrary while the
number of the shapes do not change. The types of shapes in each box do change, so
the pattern is likely to be with this.
This is a difficult question. There are two key things that may be noticed here. Firstly,
every box has at another box which differs from it by only one shape. For example, B
and E differ only in that the cube is replaced by the triangle, while A and D differ in
that the sun is replaced with a lightning bolt. The second thing to notice is that some
boxes have two other boxes that differ from it by only one shape. For example, while
A and D differ by one shape, A and C also differ in that the circle is replaced by a star.
Two of the boxes, C and B only have one other box that differs from it by one shape.
Also, it may be noticed that shapes occur a different number of times in the pattern.
The circle and the triangle appear four times, the moon and the lightning bolt appear
three times, the sun and the pentagon appear twice while the cube and the star
appear once.
Using either of the two pieces of evidence, one can ascertain that the sequence
involves a different shape being replaced in each subsequent picture.
Using the first set of evidence, the two end boxes will correspond to the two boxes
that have only one other box that it differs from by one shape, i.e. boxes C and B.
Since the sequence can be read in either direction, we can choose either of the two
as the starting box.
Arbitrarily choosing box C as the starting box, the next box must be box A, where the
star has been replaced by the circle. The next box must be D, where the sun in box A
is replaced by a lightning bolt. The box that differs from D by one shape is E, where
the moon is replaced by the black pentagon, and hence E must be next in the
sequence. Similarly, the next box is B where the triangle is replaced by the cube.
We could also use the second set of evidence to solve the problem. The start and end
of the sequence must be the boxes which have a shape that appears only once,
implying that it is the first shape to get replaced and the last shape to arrive. The two
boxes that fulfil this criterion are boxes C and B, which have star and the cube
respectively both shapes that appear only once. We can now arbitrarily choose box
C or B as the start box and work it out as above.

Analogies
Answer: D
It is important to remember that these types of questions are best solved by isolating
individual components. Once a component is chosen, we determine how it has
changed from the first picture to the second and then apply this rule to the third
picture to see where it should be in the answer.
The components of the question include the two lines (initially running horizontally
and vertically) as well as the four shapes lining the tips of the lines. Lets first
consider what is happening to the lines. The horizontal line does not change, whilst
the vertical one moves 45 degrees clockwise. Applying this rule to the third picture,
we are faced with a dilemma as to which lines correspond to the horizontal and
vertical lines in the first two pictures.
Looking at the answer choices, we can see that the line extending diagonally from
top right to bottom left is unchanged in all choices, meaning that it is corresponding
to the unchanging horizontal line. Thus, applying the 45 degrees clockwise rotation
to the other line gives us a vertical line, eliminating options A and C and leaving
options B, D and E.
Considering the shapes on the tips of the horizontal line, we can see that they swap
places and invert colours. Also, the square rotates by 45 degrees. Applying this to
the line running from the top right to the bottom left in picture 3, which we now know
corresponds to the horizontal line in pictures 1 and 2, there should be a white circle
on the top right and a black square which has been rotated on the bottom left. This
further eliminates option C and leaves option B and D.
The shapes on the vertical line are a little trickier. Both shapes swap sides, however
the top shape rotates by 180 degrees while the bottom shape does not rotate.
Applying these rules to the other line in picture three gives us option D as the
answer.

Missing Part
Answer: B
As you should remember, section III questions are filled with two parts: the
components, and the distracter information. An important skill that needs to be
developed when preparing for section III is the ability to quickly identify and
disregard distracters. There is a systematic process with which to do this.
In order to approach this question, the first thing to do is to identify exactly where the
pattern lies within the patterns of lines and shading within the shapes? Within the
shapes? A combination of both?
Considering the patterns within the shapes the two left images consist of vertical
and horizontal stripes. There is no immediate relationship/pattern evident regarding
this, so we move on to the images where the tips are shaded. While one image has
three corners shaded, the other has four, and the other has five, there is no apparent
pattern as to which shapes will have shaded tips. We cannot deduce that the image
we are looking for will have shaded tips, much like the fact that we cannot deduce it
has stripes.
A similar situation occurs when considering the unshaded shapes no apparent
pattern.
Hence, this information is most likely distracter information. Considering the shapes
themselves, we can see that most of them are irregular polygons, and hence
probably have no relationships regarding symmetry or number of diagonals etc. The
simplest thing to consider is the number of sides a shape has.
Counting the number of sides, we can see that this initially complex pattern has been
reduced into a simple sequence. Starting with the upper left three sided shape and
moving anticlockwise, we can see that the number of sides in each shape increases
by one each time. Hence, we are looking for a shape with 8 sides, which is present in
option B.

Matrix
Answer: E
This matrix question is evidently made up of nine boxes, each box containing a
further 9 boxes which may be coloured black or white.
One recurring pattern you must always remember to look out for in matrix questions
is the overlap elimination situation. This is where two boxes are overlapped to give
the third box, with the parts that are overlapping disappearing. Looking across rows
in this pattern, we can see that this is the case with the left and middle boxes
overlapping to give the right box.
As the question is asking for the middle box, the situation is slightly more
complicated. We can infer that coloured regions in the left box which are present in
the right box are not present in the middle box (if they were, they would have
overlapped and been eliminated). Conversely, any coloured regions in the left box
which are not present in the right box are present in the middle box. Similarly, any
coloured region present in the right box but not present in the left box must be
present in the middle box.
By examination, the solution is thus E.

Pyramid
Answer: D
It is important in pyramid questions to first look for the recurring patterns that
appear in the UMAT time and time again. A typical pattern concerning pyramids is
overlap elimination between adjacent triangles and the one above it.
We shall number the triangles in the pyramid from one to nine to simplify
explanation.
Looking at triangles 1 and 2, we can see that if these are superimposed and
overlapping areas are eliminated, that we would get triangle 6 which is in an X
shape. Similarly, triangle 2 and 3 would undergo a similar relationship to get triangle
8.
Further, triangle 4 and 5 when superimposed and overlapping areas disappearing,
would lead to nothing as given in triangle 7.
Hence, the solution must be formed by superimposing triangles 6 and 8 and
eliminating any areas of overlap.
This gives us option D as the solution.

Number Games
Answer: C
It is difficult to determine where to begin looking for a pattern in this question. There
seems to be no pattern between the location of the numbers within the boxes, or
within the numbers themselves. It is important not to become overwhelmed here,
and focus on the simplest patterns first.
Regarding the number of numbers in each box, we can see that this increases from
one number to three numbers to five numbers to seven numbers. This may be a clue
as to what the number should be, as it is unlikely that it is a useless sequence.
A keen test taker would be able to note that the highest number in each subsequent
box is increasing. The highest number in box one is 1, in box two it is 3 and in box
